I0P ROXY ANNE
IS STAKED OUT
BY OIL AGENTS
V'ith thrt cIoho approach of Alon
day, w in u the Trigoiila Oil and Gun
company will begin drilling its firm
whII near IMioenlx, the oil interest in
the city and valley is Increasing. It
Iihh alroudy reached mich a Htage that
four companies aro in the fild wifh
development plans and wildcatters
have staked (Ait everything in the
county that even resembles oil
ground and much that does not.
It has just been discovered that
even the top of itoxy Anne has been
staked out in oil claims by eight
men, and later returns may show that
the icy summit of Ml. Pitt baa been
gobbled up by oil zealots who scorn
to bo overlooking nothing. Henry
Callahan, the well known mining
man of Medford, the other day met
two men from .Saskatchewan, Can.,
who had Just returned from a hike to
the top of Itoxy Anne, and thoy in
formed him that they were surprised
! to find that tho top of the mountain
; had all been staked (tit in oil claims
j by eight men. The Identity of the
I eight has not yet been learned,
. A. It. iNorris, tho head driller of
the Trigonia company arrived in tho
city last night from San Jose, Calif.,
and will spend today and tomorrow
Jut the well site to see that the finish
ling touches are made to tho prepara
tions for drilling.
.lr. Norris who had had years t.i
: experience in successful oil drilling in
tho various fields and Is of u quiet,
conservative temperament, said this
noon that he Is very favorably Im
pressed with the site chosen and the
vicinity around the first well.
"The top formation of the land
and other surroundings of this tract
all indicate that oil is beneath," he
said. "A better sp(4, according to
human calculations, based on past ex
perience, could not have been chosen.
I regard tho Trigonia company tract
and site as a very good gamble."
